Big Medium 2.0.8 is a maintenance update that fixes a handful of bugs.

(This version was briefly released as v2.0.7, but there was a problem with one of the download files. The issue has been fixed and the version number has accordingly been updated to v2.0.8.)

What’s new

• The “comment count” link element now properly displays in <%latest%>, <%quicktease%> and <%news%> widgets in addition to the primary link widgets (<%spotlight%>, <%links%> and <%morelinks%>).

• Fixed a bug that could prevent overflow pages from being properly updated.

• Fixed a bug that caused Internet Explorer to open a blank page when clicking e-mail links created in the rich-text editor.

• Fixed a display issue that caused document icons in download links to appear in the incorrect location in Internet Explorer.

• Fixed a compression problem in prototype-scriptaculous.js, which breaks Prototype’s Ajax methods. (This affects you only if you have created your own custom Ajax JavaScript code on top of Big Medium’s built-in Prototype.js library.)

• Added additional logging of Akismet comment submissions.
